President Donald Trump's phone conversations with the two British prime ministers who served during his first term were apparently so madcap that they left staff at Number 10 Downing Street in tears. According to a report in Politico, any conversation between the then-president and the two occupants of Number 10 from 2017 to 2021 " Theresa May and Boris Johnson " were appointment listening for civil servants and other aides in the PM's orbit, with staff making a point to gather in a secure room or the prime minister's private study to hear them speak with the American leader. One former Downing Street source described the conversations as "extraordinary" and "brilliant" " the latter meant more sarcastically " and said those who were present were "there with tears [of] laughter" because the calls were "hilarious."
